I'm in no way saying it the fault of LE. The mob is responsible for the mob.

But, theycan do anything they want. Whether it stands up in court is a different issue.

I can't imagine Favara turning down surveillance but we'll never know.


Sure and apologies. I misinterpreted your post. A guess would be it wasn’t offered, but that’s more hunch than anything concrete. Who knows how the powers that be rank things sometimes. And maybe Favara just didn’t realise the danger he was really in.

Me- I’d like to think I’d have been gone that night and in Mexico 2 days later, but it doesn’t work like that. Most people don’t get the evil others can do so easily, and I doubt he’d really processed it until the moment they came for him

. It was just such a bad luck situation. The guy did nothing wrong. The kid just happened to far from behind a dumpster at the exact moment he was passing by. Sadly the kids parents were lunatics and Favara was doomed. When I read that article from Scott Favara my heat goes out to that Family


He knew exactly how much trouble he was in, he was warned by Ettore Zappi, applied for and received a Concealed Carry Weapons permit and had purchased a gun. So how was he unaware of the life threatening situation he was in, in fact he was somewhat casual about responding, actually. He could've gotten a loan to move out and pay it back after selling the house, he could've gotten rid of the car the next day, he could have better armed himself given that he chose to remain at his house and in close proximity to the family of the child whose death he contributed to. Also, screw that victim shit, these guys weren't Seal Team Six or SAS or Spetsnatz. They were a bunch of overweight, out of shape soft street thugs who only succeeded in ambushes against unaware victims.
